LAP Ministries

From the beginning Love All People was a ministry, although the students didn’t realize it then. In 1980, Love All People organized an inter-denominational church called ‘Stars for God’.

There were times when you could walk through the Sahara Hotel (where they performed in the Casbah Lounge on weekends) and hear the melody of praise and worship floating down the escalator. (We feel your presence here Lord, ooooo). Many people’s lives were not only touched, but changed during the church services. Many people who had been gambling downstairs, found their feet going upstairs to come to have a personal relationship with the Lord. It was not our doing, it was His! To God we give all the praise and glory for working in our lives.

Baptisms were held in the pool of our deacon’s home, Stan & Raymona Smith – where people came to feel the physical “washing away of their sins” and come out of the water renewed and revived. (We want to Praise you, Lord! We want to Praise you, Lord! ooooo)

Love All People was blessed to be invited to such places as the James Cleveland Gospel Music Workshop, to appear on the gospel shows and to visit many wonderful churches. For a while, we became a part of the Praise and Worship Team at Lakewood Church. We were part of a “revival in the land”. God used Love All People in a powerful way – not that we deserved it. We were just willing to say, “Here am I, Lord, send me” and He saw fit to send us!

God sent us across the country on a bus – leading us by the move of the Holy Spirit. Reverend Minner taught a bunch of kids – who had a hard time learning – to believe in faith and the move of the Holy Spirit. Not only were many of us miracles, but we were blessed to witness many miracles! (If it had not been for the Lord, on my side – tell me – Where would I be? Where would I be?)
